There’s no doubt that by each game that Chivas USA plays under Head Coach Jose Luis Real, the team looks better and better. In the third match under the helm of ‘Güero’ Real in Major League Soccer action, the Red-and-White earned a scoreless draw with an FC Dallas squad that had only lost once at home this season.

Despite the final score, the Goats had the majority of attempts at goal, keeping Dallas ‘keeper Raul Fernandez busy. While Chivas maintained their rhythm throughout the game, it was the final 15 minutes that Dallas was close to opening up the scoreboard.

“All of us at Chivas know that Dallas have been the better team, they are in first place, and we knew that it was going to be a difficult game, very complicated,” Jose Luis Real said after the game. “Even though in the last minutes of the match Dallas was better, I think that the match, before the last 15 minutes, was a very close game.

“The team’s work has been very well assimilated in the last two weeks that I’ve worked with them. It’s a team that is very disposed and I think that the only difference at this moment is that it’s a team that works as a group rather than individually. I think that’s the big difference,” the Chivas USA Head Coach added.

In the last three games under Real, little by little there has been an obvious improvement for the Red-and-White. In Thursday night’s game, Real was able to get a taste of the team he wants to see for the rest of the season.

“I know that each game, the motivation of each player has to be at the maximum. But for some reason against Dallas, we have the same colors. We want that the colors that stick out the most would be ours. They are very similar colors, and we have a lot of respect for Dallas, but there’s always a part of us that motivates us more because of the category Dallas has,” Real finalized.
